Back to Gwen’s Point of View
Jack…
I turned into my human self, not caring about my n*kedness in front of him and smiled defiantly at the man who always wanted my mate’s throne so badly that he ended up doing everything he could to get it, but I was sure that this time we wouldn’t lose.
“Well… well… well… isn’t this my dear uncle? The man who always wanted my mate’s throne” I said to pi*s him off and seeing the way he looked at me as if he wanted to kill me, I knew that I succeeded.
“Oo… I really want to see the moment I manage to defeat you and make those white wolves of yours work for me” He replied coldly and made me laugh out loud to continue annoying him. As Destine suspected, it seems that Jack also wants her power, the power of the white-wolf under his command to conquer the world.
“Please… it took you hundreds of years to even defeat your dear nephew, how do you expect to defeat my white-wolf?” I challenged arrogantly as I tried to make my way to the Alpha’s house, which I knew was where Pearl’s body was hidden.
Ggrrrr….
Yes, be angry, I whispered.
The anger of an ego-tainted wolf can turn him into a complete idiot.
Sucking in my hand that was wounded by the sharp wood of the wolfsbane and spitting it out, I showed how my open wound closed in a split second as I healed to make him desire my power even more.
‘Get ready, we go straight inside when they attack’ I ordered Erol through our mind-link.
The look of envy and greed that Jack showed, made me smile widely.
I know what’s on his mind right now and I’ll use his greed.
‘Are you ready, Destine’ I asked my white-wolf who could be heard laughing inside my head.
‘Let’s end this’ She replied confidently before getting ready to transform back into our white-wolf and attack the 12 rogues that were in front of us at the moment.
“Do you ever regret being my fated mate?”
It was when we were in Zaragoza taking a day to ourselves, forgetting about the troubles that happened to us at the palace and also the problem with the black witch when Titus asked me those questions.
I remember that Titus asked me about many things and that was one of them.
“Do you regret making me your mate?” I asked back while furrowing my brows.
He stroked my cheek lovingly while shaking his head.
“Never” He stated firmly “Having you and loving you is the best choice I ever made” I watch how he look determine and serious when he said those words, I can see sincerely coming from the words.
I raise my hand and interline our fingers “I feel the same thing” I told him which made him smile.
“Really? Even when I made you face this kind of danger with the black witch?”
I can help but laugh but nodded my head “Yes, even if it made me face those danger, at least I am with you”
He was silent for a while after that, I don’t know what was going on in his head.
“How is your life as a human?” Surprised by the question he suddenly threw at me, I placed my hand on his cheek and made his gaze turn back to me.
“What do you mean?”
He gave me a small smile “Seeing you interacting with that guy earlier made me think, what if my mistake in the past made you open up to another guy and an official rejection was made?”
I knew his rejection was tormenting him just as much as it was tormenting me, but I didn’t think he would think of it that way.
Leaning my head on his shoulder and moving my seat closer to make me comfortable, I opened my mouth to remember my life back then.
“Maybe you think being human is easy, having no enemies or things to hide” I started to open my story and glanced over to see him continuing to stare at me as if waiting for me to continue “However, every life has different obstacles and difficulties”
“Is it hard to be human?”
I nodded “Just like pack life, humans have their own levels”
He furrowed his brows “Levels?”
I nodded “Like an Alpha in a Pack, they have a president in each country and their own pyramid levels”
“I see”
“But it’s harder to be human because to enter a certain level they need to work hard and just like us, werewolves, there are humans who are also good and bad, so I think it’s the same life here and there” I continued speaking and not for a second did Titus interrupt my words and I smiled back as I looked into his eyes “but at least one thing that is comforting is that, when a werewolf declares love or finds their mate, it lasts forever, love in human life will fade and many divorce or betray their partners because of the loss of love”
Titus looked shocked to hear my last words “lost love?” He asked confused, because that’s not possible in the werewolf world.
I let out a chuckle and nodded my head in response.
“How is that possible?” He asked in confusion and I just laughed.
Yes, it must be confusing to know for a werewolf about the concept of lost interest with your lover. I’ve seen so many people cry because their lover did betray they because of finding new lovers when I’m in human world.
That’s why it is hard for me to accept Titus at the beginning because thinking he’s not serious and to make him regret for thinking to rejected me, but then in time I realize that he’s a werewolf, their concept of love and mate is different with human and that’s one of the reason I choose to forgive him among other things.
“So.. I never feel regret for having you as my mate” I declare toward my fated mate to show him how serious I am that day. If in the end we will part ways, at least I have learnt what it feels like to be loved selflessly and sincerely by someone.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly.
“I plan to step down from the throne and dissolve the kingdom so that each Alpha can lead his own territory without the interruption of a king” Surprised, I turned my head to look into his eyes.
He gave me a smile and I didn’t expect him to have considered this.
“Why?” I choked, not knowing how to react to the new information.
He sighed “The incident with Pearl opened my eyes, knowing the alliance remained on my side after what I did and is still happening….” He pauses before continuing “Made me realise how great they are without a king.”
He was right…
I’m glad he could see it too…
